New Blood Entry — Pleasure Pages
Penguin / 2022
Over half of UK adults watch porn, supporting an industry that objectifies/exploits women. But what if there was an alternative? Penguin’s Pleasure Pages promotes erotic books – literary to commercial, many written by women – as a source of guilt-free sensual pleasure. Launching in May, International Masturbation Month, we’ll partner with Lovehoney to offer a self-pleasure routine that sources its stimulation from sexy novels. Participants pick from free ebook/audiobook chapters and share their experiences (and favourite reads) across social media. Sparking lively conversations and media buzz, Pleasure Pages will also provoke deeper debate on taboos around self-pleasuring and the effects of porn.
